Got an error today, saying "Could not get an assignment". Got back home and seen that F@h doesn't get any new WU's. Nothing was changed in the client, and it worked fine for months before.
What can be done?
The log says:

Update: got some WU after 2 client restarts, so maybe it'll be ok.
If we solved all their GPU WU's that's a thing to be proud of 8>]
 
Working to fix the shortage of GPU WUs

.
March 18, 2014 by Vijay Pande ·

We’ve had a large influx of GPU clients, including a big donation of time from a corporate partner, and we’ve run a bit low on GPUs late last night (pacific time). The team got new WUs going last night and we expect they should be online shortly.

While this shortage is naturally annoying for donors (hopefully just briefly annoying, with the new WUs coming online soon), there is an interesting upside to this––we’ve been really blown away with all the GPU resources donors have been running and look forward to the exciting research we can accomplish with this great outpouring of support.

WHY do I feel I was expecting them to add.....

consequently we are reducing GPU points....

maybe that will come tomorrow.

Funny, I would have thought that all the new gaming consoles out recently would result in less GPUs available.
